Well, the KBA website says it's in Incheon at Samsan World Gym. There is a team event followed by individual, according to the IBF site. There could well be an article about it in October on Badzine International (in English, of course). Stay tuned.

Cheers for the info. Is Lee Yong dae still young enough to play in the junior championships? How old is it that u have to stop?

IBF rules say that if you turn 19 during the calendar year, you're too old(see Rule 8.1 here). Lee just turned 18 this month. No official word yet on whether he'll be playing. The tournament coincides with the Denmark Open and Dutch Opens. Lee played in the Asian Juniors but that didn't coincide with any senior tournaments. Who knows?

Indian juniors for World meet

VIJAYAWADA: A 13-member Indian badminton team will leave for Incheon, South Korea, to participate in the junior world championship from November 2 to 7, Badminton Association of India joint secretary K. Ch. Punnaiah Choudary announced here on Wednesday.
---------------------------------------

Results from world juniors will give indication of emerging new talents and countries

I think this time China will be better prepared. Lydia Lost to Wang Yi han in the final at the Asia Junior Final. Watched the game on TV, Lydia game lack of consistency and need more exposure to mature.

In the mixed team event, I hope Malaysian Junior team are able to put up a good showing. Other notable team should be China, Korea. Japan and Indonesia.

Mike, what's the reason for posting the link to SBS here? There is no badminton on that schedule and no scheduleis out yet for the weeks of the World Juniors. If there is an article on that website dealing with SBS's plans to air the tournament, I can't find it. Have you heard they will cover it? Do you think TVAnts will be able to pick it up this time?

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia, with Mohd Arif Abdul Latif at the helm, have a good chance to go one step better and reach the semi-finals of the mixed team event in the World Junior Badminton Championships, which will be held in Incheon, South Korea, from Nov 2-11.
In the team draw released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on Friday, Malaysia are the joint third-fourth seeds together with Indonesia. The top two seeds are defending champions South Korea and China.
Malaysia are in Group B with Taiwan, Ukraine, the Philippines, Denmark (fifth-eighth seeds), Japan, Canada and South Africa.
The eight-team Group B have been divided into two sub groups. The winners, most likely Malaysia and Denmark, are expected to square off for a place in the semi-finals.
At the last World Juniors in Vancouver two years ago, Malaysia finished fifth in the mixed team competition and Hoon Thien How-Tan Boon Heong won the boys’ doubles title for the country for the first time since 1998.
Besides Arif, Malaysia will be represented by seven other boys – Lim Fang Yang, Lok Chong Chieh, Teo Kok Siang, Vountus Indra Mawan, Lim Khim Wah, Mak Hee Chun and Tan Wee Kiong. There are five girls in the team – Lydia Cheah, Tee Jing Yi, Stephanie Shalini, Vivien Khoo and Woon Khe Wei.
In the Asian Juniors in July, the Malaysian shuttlers stole the show with Lydia, Arif-Vountus and Wee Kiong-Khe Wei emerging as the runners-up in the girls' singles, boys’ doubles and mixed doubles respectively. l THE GROUPINGSA1: South Korea, Australia, Czech Republic, Botswana. A2: Germany, India, Vietnam, Macau. B1: Malaysia, Taiwan, Ukraine, Philippines. B2: Denmark, Japan, Canada, South Africa. C1: Indonesia, Hong Kong, Holland, Mongolia. C2: England, Singapore, Bulgaria, Sri Lanka. D1: China, United States, Turkey, Egypt. D2: Thailand, New Zealand, Russia, Pakistan.

looked like PBSI tried to send the best team by fielded Tommy, Nitya/Nadya who didn't play in AJBC & Milo.
This time Bellaetrix wasn't selected in team and 4th girl's single is blank. Another player who didn't selected is D. Hayom Rumbaka (runner up Milo)

as I know in some local tournament in this category, the winner are
BS : Engga, BD : Kevin/Angga, GS : Ana Rovita, GD : Della/Ayu
Ana Rovita wasn't selected and her place was fielded by Febby Angguni (Pelatnas) who more experience and better.

Indeed, with Tommy and Bandar's presence in the boy's singles, the semi-final target set by PBSI should be manageable.

Similarly, the girl's team event look quite strong with Pia, Aprilia and Sylvinna. They are arguably the best girl's singles we have. I didn't expect Nitya/Nadya still qualify for the Junior events as I thought they are already 20-21 yo. Lili/Richi are also a reasonable choice. Aren't they the MILO Junior champion?

needed to flash back remember past junior tournaments.
I believe Nitya still in junior age, not sure with Nadya.

Last year she paired with Polii in AJBC and paired with Yulianti in Milo, Nadya already in Pelatnas .
I remembered and watched Jakarta Open 2003 U-16, Nitya paired with Pia won GD while Sylvinna in GS, Wisnu HP beat Tommy in BS and Tommy with another player won BD. Pia tried play in U-19, she wa ended by Wiwis Meyliana from Djarum.
I predict Nitya born in 1988.

You are correct. Nitya Krishinda was born in 1988, same with Tommy.
Nitya/Nadya are fast turning into a formidable WD pair...definitely a top 20 pair.
